Protection for renters in financial difficulty due to Covid-19 extended to 12 July

Image: Shutterstock/wjapinto Image: Shutterstock/wjapinto PROTECTIONS for renters who have been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic have been extended until July.

The measures in the Bill include protections to renters who have fallen into rent arrears, giving them 28 days to pay owed rent before they can be evicted. The measures can be only applied in circumstances where a self-declaration form from the tenant is sent confirming that they cannot pay their rent due to the financial impact of Covid-19. The landlord can still serve a valid notice of termination .

This means there has been ban on evictions from 31 December 2020 to 5 April 2021, with a ten-day grace period after this.People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett has called on the government not to lift the moratorium on the eviction of tenants on 5 April saying that lifting the eviction moratorium would be a “heartless abandonment of tenants in the midst of a pandemic that will plunge many tenants into crisis and worsen the homelessness crisis”.

They've untangled their 5Km limit mess. It's something I suppose.
